Project Overview
The City of Weatherford, Texas is developing an Active Transportation Plan to address existing and future active transportation needs through strategic improvements and programming. This plan aims to create a safer, more connected and accessible network for walking, biking, and other non-motorized forms of transportation to enhance overall mobility and quality of life in Weatherford, Texas.

The Active Transportation Plan will analyze current infrastructure, identify gaps and high-need areas, prioritize improvement strategies, and provide a roadmap for future implementation and funding efforts. By focusing on connectivity, safety, and accessibility, the plan will guide the city's efforts in creating a more vibrant and active community.

These plans are crucial in developing safer, more accessible, and better-connected environments that encourage active lifestyles. Through federal and local funding programs, cities like Weatherford can develop comprehensive plans to enhance active transportation networks, making travel safer and more appealing for all residents.
